Alceon Private Equity is a modern, ambitious and flexible private equity firm that does things a bit differently. We are diversely skilled business, operations and finance specialists within the $6 billion FUM Alceon Group. We invest in mid-market growth companies where we believe we can help more effectively and rapidly realise those companies' potential and consequently deliver outstanding returns to shareholders, founders and investors. We use modern tools, processes and playbooks that build from historically proven approaches but evolved to suit the future, not the past. As part of the successful Alceon Group, we have access to a large network of loyal investors with appetite to grow their wealth through investing in a variety of asset classes. Combined with Alceon Group's significant balance sheet, we think of this as our permanent capital. We then work with corporate advisers and company owners to identify high potential investment opportunities in which to deploy that capital as either a minority or majority stake. But we bring more than just money. We leverage our proven processes, governance and playbooks to work with our portfolio companies to level up their weaker operational areas and accelerate their growth plans. Unlike many of our competitors, we recognise each company has its own timeline so while we work to a successful exit, we do so on a schedule that will generate the best results for the business's shareholders.
